I had an easy set pool last year with the Intex Pump and filter , that was a joke. This year upgraded to the 16x48 Ultra Frame pool. I bought a Hayward 3/4 HP pump and a Hayward DE40 Filter for it, on craigslist.
My question is, will a 3/4 HP be enough for this pool? or should I get a 1hp?? Roughly how long should I run this a day??? The De40 should be fine for keeping it clean??
I had the salt generator on the pool last year, but thinking about getting a inline chlorinator and using that. The salt system got alot of hardwater build up, and when the power went off you would have to reset the thing all the time, if you forgot to do it, that was a problem.
